Mozambique Honey Company: Pure Honey From a Fair Business

Mozambique has fast forest areas and woodlans, where pesticides are rarely used, making this a country with potential to respond to a growing demand for organically produced honey. So far, however, lack of investment in building knowledge and producer organisations, low quality of produce and lack of access to markets meant that the opportunity to transform livelihoods through the honey trade was being missed. A Dutch entrepreneur, André Vonk, worked together with SNV to support the ‘Mozambique Honey Company’ to open up opportunities for small farmers. MHC is now a frontrunner in developing the local beekeeping sector.
